Only those teachers who have passed the BPSC and competency exam will be eligible to apply for transfers.
The policy is applicable to all the teachers from primary to plus 2 levels.
The Bihar Government has introduced a new transfer policy for teachers in the state. Government teachers of Bihar will no longer have to wait indefinitely for their transfer. Under the new transfer policy, teachers can apply for a fair and transparent relocation. The transfer policy was initially scheduled to be rolled out in December. On Tuesday, State Education Minister Sunil Kumar claimed that the transfer and posting of teachers will be done together for all, and this will be executed only after the completion of five competency tests for old teachers appointed through Panchayati raj Institutions and urban local bodies in the state.
According to the new guideline, only those teachers who have passed the BPSC examination and the competency examination will be eligible to apply for transfers. This announcement has been made to make sure that the transfer process is merit-based. Additionally, this new order for transfer will be applicable to those teachers who are facing specific challenges or special problems like health-related issues, family emergencies, personal challenges, or other exceptional challenges.
Teachers will apply for their transfer by the following ways:
First of all, you have to log in to the e-ShikshaKosh portal (https://eshikshakosh.bihar.gov.in) with the teacher ID.
After this, a dashboard will appear and you have to open it and click on the ‘Request for Transfer on special ground’ option.
Three menus will appear on the left side of the screen. After clicking on the transfer application form menu, OTP will be sent to the registered mobile number.
After entering the OTP on the portal, it will be verified.
Lastly, the profile of the concerned teacher available on e-Shikshakosh, and the details of the current position will be automatically displayed on the screen. However, it is mandatory to enter the OTP, otherwise, you will not be able to apply.
The policy is applicable to all the teachers from primary to plus 2 levels. The transfer orders have been brought to many teachers who have been waiting for this opportunity. News18, which had actively campaigned for a fair transfer policy, played a significant role in making this policy possible. Teachers, who had once lost hope can now feel encouraged and they are expressing their gratitude for these new guidelines and also thanked News18 for its efforts in bringing about this change.
